The Future Is Now! (new inventions that are amazing)

Saturday 14 May 2011
Artificial Solar Leaf

 


An artificial leaf that mimics the process of photosynthesis. This technology broke news a few weeks ago and will possibly change the world.
One can envision villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” Nocera said





Printing A Human Kidney




A 3D printer that uses living cells to output a transplantable kidney. Using similar technology, Dr. Atala's young patient Luke Massella received an engineered bladder 10 years ago.






Human Exoskeletons



Eythor Bender of Berkeley Bionics brings onstage two amazing exoskeletons, HULC and eLEGS -- robotic add-ons that could one day allow a human to carry 200 pounds without tiring, or allow a wheelchair user to stand and walk






Flexible Transistors






This technology will completely change the computing/digital world as we know it once fully developed. Devices that were once specialized: GPS, television, home computers, cell phones, PC's, game systems, paper and pencil, schoolbooks and more will all be packaged in one device and this technology is key to that end.










Brain-Machine Interface






A machine and human cooperation beyond today's borders. The potential applications for this seem almost endless. Pretty surreal to think they are working on technology we can control with our thoughts. I mean, really? That sounds like something only found in science fiction






Bio-Gel Fridge



This fridge makes use of a special gel-like substance to keep your food cold and fresh. The substance is odorless and non-sticky so you can put things in and take them out just as they were, without having any additional greens on your food.

    Holy shit. Some of that stuff is amazing, particularly the kidney. That's interesting to me because I'm a med student lol but the fact that a printer has the ability to keep cells alive and then lay them out to make a functioning kidney which has quite a complicated anatomical system and histology is beyond amazing.

    This stuff is getting weirder and weirder. Pretty soon people can just buy and 'equip' a kidney on-the-fly!

    "Human Exoskeletons" Theres a whole lot of potenial there hopefuly the army will take it and build upon it with it's huge ressorces and maybe in 20 years time it will be a common thing for the disabled or otherwise challanged people :]

    Bio-Gel Fridge was quite a suprise sound sooo futuristic and not to mention it would look freaking awesome :D

  1. i want that fridge!
